Can Magus Spellstrike With Non-arcane Spells?


Rules Discussion

Vigilant Seal

As is written in the action, "You Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll." doesn't restrict the tradition of the spell to being arcane. However, arcane is mentioned later in the sentence, "The infusion of spell energy grants your Strike the arcane trait, making it magical."

So, can I use spellstrike with non-arcane spells? For example, to dedicate myself into a Cleric and use spellstrike with the powerful focus spell Fire Ray, or into a Psychic and do that with the powerful amp cantrip Imaginary Weapon?

I know it's a little strange in RP, but a free and poweful spell per encounter is very useful.

Yes. Nothing limits spellstrike to arcane spells.
